Chris Paul and the Los Angeles Clippers agreed late Monday to a contract worth $107 million over five years, just as the clock hit 12:01 p.m. ET and free agents were free to speak with teams, according to ESPN.com.

Although Paul has made it clear he has no interest in leaving Los Angeles, he cannot sign a contract until July 10. He was allowed to agree to a contract as of Monday.

Paul attended the BET Awards earlier Sunday, an indication that he might not have been in the position to agree to terms Sunday night.

Paul told his representatives to inform other teams that he would return to the Clippers on Saturday, according to ESPN The Magazine’s Chris Broussard. The move saved a lot of teams from making phone calls and pitches, as Paul made it clear that he had every intention of re-signing with the Clippers.

There was little chance Paul would leave the team even before they added Doc Rivers as coach, according to ESPN.com. There was talk of him joining Dwight Howard in Atlanta, but that rumor quickly lost steam.

The Clippers have Paul and Blake Griffin—signed to a five-year, $95 million extension last summer—in Los Angeles for the long haul.

What they plan to do with the remainder of the roster is yet to be seen, as Eric Bledsoe, DeAndre Jordan and Caron Butler have been mentioned in trade rumors, and shooting guard Matt Barnes is a free agent.
